Why are we running this event?

This
Transparency Symposium is an important thought leadership event dedicated to discussing and debating the work of the Competition & Market Authority who have been undertaking an extensive
investigation into the workings of the Investment Consulting and Fiduciary Management sectors.

The CMA carried out their investigation following a reference from the Financial Conduct Authority in September 2017.

The CMA have taken a close look at whether there are competition problems in these markets, in particular whether there are any ‘adverse effects on
competition’ and what remedial action should be taken to address them.

Having recently published their Final Report, they are now ready to explain their conclusions and respond to questions and comments.

This symposium therefore provides an ideal opportunity for all types of stakeholders including market participants, asset owners, representatives of pension schemes, academics, subject-matter
experts and the pensions and investment press to engage first hand with key people at the CMA who have been involved with deciding what the remedies should be; and who will have responsibility for
implementing the remedies moving forward.

The senior executives from the CMA involved with the event are:

Alison Gold, Project Director

Alistair Thompson, Director of Remedies, Business and Financial Analysis

Corina Donohoe, Assistant Director

All three CMA executives have been key to the investigation and/or have responsibility for taking forward the next phase of the investigation into the implementation of remedies stage.

Also, in the afternoon there will be presentations by key stakeholders including market participants; and after the mid-afternoon coffee break there will be a Power Panel that will start off a
discussion and debate session.

Given the significance of the Final Report and the widespread implications to the way it will impact the pensions and investments sector, we expect the event to be particularly engaging and highly
participative.

Our overall purpose for the event is to shine a very bright light onto this important topic; in keeping with the TTF’s mission
which is to help fix what’s wrong in financial services by harnessing the transformational power of transparency.

The
underlying questions the event will seek to answer include:

What have the CMA decided are the barriers to
fair and open competition in this space?

What have they concluded about conflicts of
interest?

What exactly are the changes the CMA plan to
make and how will they be introducing them?

What will bringing the investment consulting and
fiduciary management sectors inside the regulatory perimeter mean in practical terms?

What has been the thinking on separating
investment consulting and fiduciary management functions?

What might be the long-term consequences of what
the CMA are planning to do?

Are there any unintended consequences that can
be foreseen?

What's the format going to be?

To provide the maximum opportunity for all delegates to get fully involved we have structured the event around:

A
keynote presentation by the CMA executives

Presentations by key stakeholders

A hot
topic Power Panel

A
discussion and debate session

As such, the symposium is ideally suited to those who want a valuable regulatory update, the opportunity to ask questions and give feedback, the chance to share opinions and participate in lively
discussion and debate.

Who shouldn't miss this symposium?

This symposium is going to bravely attempt to deal with questions of
immense importance to the investment consulting and fiduciary management sectors; so in many ways it's a not-to-be missed event for anybody that has an interest in those sectors and all the related
areas that dove-tail into them, such as asset managers, pension scheme trustees and so on.

We're
expecting it to be a very stimulating, engaging and thought-provoking session.
